[hometext] => Required some editing for content, but comments on it are appreciated. Still a work in progress.
[bodytext] => When is anonymity a comfort? Or sex anonymous? Sitting on a plane- half way between hell and Seattle- I know no one. Yet your motionless tongue is silent in it’s rebellion. These words I wish to scream at you. But you are not deaf. Blind, maybe wondering where the shards of my beauty cut the deepest. Oh, to slice open your eyes. Or this door- let me off, I’m too sober and that hasn’t suited me well lately. Or can we cling to this memory? When your tongue glided into my mouth- your outlaw kiss. Your renegade hand stealing from me greedily. My mind and heart in open prayer. Or cling to our shelters like the locals outside of Cancun, huddling under tarps and cinder blocks. Clutching rosaries as though Christian stories were true like I clutch my book of poems in contemplation. What are the wages of sins of the flesh? And who is this god with his punishments? When I come to you in my mind when we move glide create together is this sin? Or death- death to drink down heavily like droughts of wine? The sweet tasting release of death. Yes, if this is sin then kill me again. Such desires or hollow, though listen to these secrets they are spoken in earnest. For I am bleeding on the inside- my tears are as blood. But such spoiled gifts are all I have as offerings to your thirst. Yes, sup on my tears drink my knowledge, my memories my ashen love. But I must get back to Seattle first. When is sex anonymous? When is death?
